Even a one-room cottage can (afford a degree of privacy, some reparation of kitchen, dining, liv- ng and sleeping quarters. The secret is in design and in use of space dividers. For instance, space is a pre- Imium in a small home and there ire several problems involved in dividing up this space. One is to avoid creating several small rooms which are confining and hard to (decorate, so room separators, or klividers, only slightly higher than your head, are used in lieu of full walls to define various use areas. To conserve space, put these di viders to work. Make them serve as storage walls and save valuable floor space which cabinets, buf fets, and other furniture would Hake. They can be built of wood o match the ceiling and wall pan- leling either Douglas fir or west coast hemlock are easily worked and respond beautifully to finish- png. One intriguing cotlaee design kails for kitchen, dining room and iving room to be in an area of twelve or fourteen feet wide by any desired length, and a beamed ceiling over this area gives it a feeling of spaciousness. Here, some division between dining space and kitchen can be made, and the feel ing of size retained through the use of a divider which comes only part way out from one wall, say far enoughto leave a four or five foot-wide Hallway along one wall Even though the divider is only seven or eight feet wide, it still forms a clear line of demarca tion between kitchen and dining room. You may not even wish to have a separator between the living and dining areas, for the two are fair ly easy to integrate as far as fur nishings and decor are concerned. Obviously, you are going to put the divider between kitchen and dining room to work. You will want to have it deep enough to accom modate dish cupboards and, "in a tiny kitchen, it may have to serve as storage for much of your kitchen ware and perhaps even cereals and breakfast foods. '' You can save steps by having the dish cupboards open on either side so that contents can be reached from both dining room and kitch en. They can be glass enclosed, or you may want to have the doors cut right out of the panel boards so that they will form a part of the storage wall when closed. The grain and texture of fir and hem lock lend themselves well to such treatment. Sliding doors for the lower stor- Huge Turkey Crop Reported PRIVACY IN THE COTTAGE. Can you design a cottage in the open area theme with ex posed beams and ceiling and still have privacy? The answer is yes. Here is a prime ex ample of a charming cottage in the open theme with the feeling of spaciousness. Sturdy Douglas fir posts and beams have been stained to contrast with lighter toned cedar paneling in divider wall and in ceiling. age cabinets are good in a small home because they do not take up floor space when open. These storage units can be quite simple, with only a bit of con trasting trim around the top to serve as decoration, for the com bination of the rich colorings of fir or hemlock and their incom parable grain needs little further embellishment When the wood has been finished naturally. However, if the ceiling and wall paneling have been finished in clear var nish, you may want to paint the divider for contrast. This divider is a simple, yet very effective device designed to give much more livability to a cottage. It is a way to use your space efficiently and still avoid that cooped-up feeling of small rooms. A record crop of turkeys is be ing raised in Oregon and across the nation this year, reports Stephen C. Marks, extension agri cultural economist at Oregon Mate College. He says the total number of tur keys in Oregon this year will top last year's record high by two per cent. While the number of heavy breed turkeys in the state is down about one per cent, an increase of more than 20 per cent in the number of light turkeys has more than offset the slightly smaller output of heavies. Nationwide, the turkey crop will also top all records. U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture reports show that turkey growers across the country will produce a record 81 million of the big bids this year, Marks says. This tops last year's high by about five per cent. In contrast to the situation In Oregon, heavy breeds across the nation are up about six per cent while light-breed turkeys show a decrease of three per cent. Last January, the nation's farm ers had indicated they intended to raise nearly 13 per cent more of the heavy-breed turkeys than the year before. However, a very heavy early-season hatch of poults coupled with prices below a year earlier caused producers to cut back on their purchases of poults as the months rolled by, Marks explained. The hatch of poults during the six4)ionth period of September through February was particularly heavy, he says. But starting in May of this year, poult hatchings dropped sharply below those of a year earlier. This means there will probably be a heavy early-market run of 11157 turkeys, Marks points out.
